Vintage Japanese Fine China Coffee or Tea Creamer. This cream pitcher is made by Fukagama Arita in Japan. It has a gleaming white background with delicate pink dianthus flowers, mint green leaves and edged in gold. Lovely. I believe it is one of the rarer, hard-to-find patterns and probably dates to the Mid-century (1945-50). The last two pictures include a hand painted Japanese Fukagama Arita porcelain Gravy Boat / Sauce Bowl in the same pattern. Check my other listings if you are interested in that.

Condition: This porcelain coffee creamer is in beautiful condition. No chips or cracks or use marks that I can see. There is one pin point "fleabite" on the upper edge that looks like a very small speck of pepper to me. Somewhat visible on the fourth and fifth photographs. Clean inside and out. There is some wear on the bottom underside rim of the pitcher which is visible in the 7th photo of the bottom stamp. Please look at all of the pictures of this piece of porcelain fine china as they are part of the description. Let me know if you have any questions about this piece of Japanese porcelain dinnerware / tea set.
